Hello,
After creating a demonstrator using acceleo 2.6 some months ago, I'm going to move to acceleo M2T.
The migration of Acceleo to an OMG standard is a great thing.
However, I don't know if the following great features from acceleo 2.6 are still available :
- Access from script to java code
- Access from script to properties

Thank you for your answers

Sebastien

Sebastien,

Both were great assets of Acceleo 2.6, and we obviously wanted them back
in the new version.

1) Java code. Though the tooling isn't mature yet on this, you can still
call for java methods from Acceleo code through
"invoke('java.lang.String', 'equalsIgnoreCase(java.lang.String)',
Sequence{'test, 'TEST'}" for example; which would be equivalent to
Java's "test".equalsIgnoreCase("TEST"). This is still extremely verbose
and we hope to be able to simplify in it the future.

2) Properties. Though we didn't port the old "getBestProperty" methods
that were a little "too magic", you can use either one of :
- getProperty(String key)
- getProperty(String propertyFile, String key)
- getProperty(String key, Sequence replacements)
- getProperty(String propertyFile, String key, Sequence replacements)

As for availability, 1) is in there since 0.8, but 2) only appeared in
Acceleo 0.9. Take a look at the javadoc of
AcceleoNonStandardLibrary#OPERATION_OCLANY_GETPROPERTY for the
description of all four.

Note that you will need to alter the generated launcher to add the
properties files that are to be taken into account for the generation.
Namely, take a look at AcceleoService#addPropertiesFile.

Thank you Laurent for your answer.

1)
I've just tested the 'invoke' statement. It works great.
However, I've a strange behaviour : when the 'invoke' is put in a query, even if the query is not called from anywhere , it conflicts with String.toUpperFirst().
For instance, the following code leads to an error :
[module invokeConflict('http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.1.0/UML')/]

[template public invokeConflict(p : Package)]
	[file (p.name.toUpperFirst(), false)]
	[p.name/]
	[/file]
[/template]


[query public checkMyPrettyRegularExpression(s : String) : String = invoke('com.thalesgroup.isr.mde.test1.MyMDEUtils', 'checkMyRegularExpression(java.lang.String)', Sequence{s})/]

The detailed error is :
An internal error occurred during: "Launching invokeConflict".
org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi.UnresolvedReferenceException: Unresolved reference '/1/String_Class/toUpperFirst'. (platform:/resource/com.thalesgroup.isr.mde.test1/bin/com/thalesgroup/isr/mde/test1/files/invokeConflict.emtl, 19, 105)

When the query is removed or put into comment, the error is not raised.
When the invocation is written inside the main template, it works perfectly.

2)
Where is located the javadoc ? I cannot find it.


Regards

Sebastien

Sebastien,

Your error seems weird ... never seen that. And I cannot reproduce the
bug either :(. Under which version of Eclipse and Acceleo are you
observing this behavior?

As for the javadoc ... It *should* be it Help -> Help Contents ->
Acceleo -> Developer Guide -> Javadoc -> API Reference ... yet I saw
while accessing it that it is no longer in there :(. I'll try and fix
this for the next build. For now you can retrieve the sources of the
classes you need and look at the doc from there. We're also in the
process of documenting all accessible operations.

Hello,

My version of Eclipse is 3.5, build id is 20090621-0832
The distribution is Java EE for Web developers, on which I've loaded Acceleo 0.8 from web repository, and then acceleo 0.9 from zip file.
I'll try from a "fresh prepared" eclipse modeling distribution...

I've reproduced the bug with the following configuration
- Eclipse 3.5 with modeling tools
- Acceleo updated to 9.0M2
- New Acceleo project (test1)
- New template (generate) with the following content :
[module generate('http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/2.1.0/UML')/]

[template public generate(p : Package)]

	[file (p.name.toUpperFirst(), false)]
	[p.name/]
	[/file]
[/template]


[query public checkMyPrettyRegularExpression(s : String) : String = invoke('MyMDEUtils', 'checkMyRegularExpression(java.lang.String)', Sequence{s})/]

Hi all,

As we talk of invoke, I couldn't make the following code work :

[invoke('java.lang.System', 'out.println(java.lang.String)', Sequence{'test'})/]

nor

[invoke('java.lang.System.out', 'println(java.lang.String)', Sequence{'test'})/]

I've seen in the tests that static methods worked. But what about calling a method from a public static field?

Hi Alain,

The Acceleo "invoke" operation allows access to java methods, not
fields. What you try to do is access the "println" method of
"OutputStream" on the particular output stream that is "System.out".
That is not possible as is; you could create your own java method that
will print on console and call that one.

The problem might be easier though. If you only wish to print messages
on the console, use the special url "stdout" for a File block : all
generated text for such a "file" will be printed out on the standard
output; namely, System.out.

[file ('stdout', false)]test[/file]

Sebastien,

I couldn't get this to fail however I tried. I'll fall back to version
0.9M2 and try on it, but the current devlopment version doesn't seem to
present this failure.

Thanks for your answer Laurent,

I didn't know the stdout trick, I suppose it can be quicker than debugging sometimes, nice.

Also my point was not specific to println() but that it might be useful to be able to call a method from a static field sometimes. But like you said, since it's possible to define a class to call such a method, and it's a case that doesn't happen very often, it's fine the way it is.

Thanks,
Alain

Indeed, the bug doesn't appear on the latest (0.9M3) version of Acceleo.
